Field of interest: Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, Physical/Occupational Therapy, Exercise Science, Aging, etc. In recent years, Taiwan has actively developed the New Southbound Policy, aiming to penetrate the Southeast Asian market in the biomedical field. At the same time, many companies are expanding in Southeast Asia, where occupational safety and health issues in developing countries are gradually gaining attention. Taiwan boasts a well-established public health system and a sound occupational health system, which is particularly worth emulating for developing countries. This program will foster industry-academia collaboration and interdisciplinary teaching and research. Through factory visits, students will be trained to think diversely, gaining professional knowledge and skills. Additionally, it provides talent and further education channels for companies involved in the New Southbound development.
